Re: [tor-talk] Fwd: TBB browser without Tor/Vidalia



Hi, Current TBB, when installed (in WinXP), will use port 9150 (to
be more correct: 127.0.0.1:9150) as the Tor-proxy IP-address:port,
it is a Socks5 proxy port, so other apps which you need to route/go
thru Tor-network will need to be (network-settings-)configured, to
use that socks5 port, the port 9150, and most likely they will need
ip-address, that will be your computer's local ip address : 127.0.0.1
And in between IP-adrs & port, the ":" symbol is usually used in
most software (but not always), or apps may have different textbox
for IP-adrs and port. And in your other apps, if it have option to
choose type of proxy, then select Socks5 proxy option.
The apps which you do not want to route/go thru Tor-network, leave
them as is.

Vidalia.exe connects with Tor.exe on Tor.exe's port 9153 to control
Tor related activities.

Older TBB software used Socks5 port 9050, and control port 9051.
